They won that battle but I don’t know how this will help their market share
well they already own the charger market share. Now everyone can pay and use their supercharger network, that’s just more revenue.
Other automakers don’t even have a charging network… I suspect Tesla will continue building out their charger network and probably even end up making more money on charging than on selling cars, while all the other automakers just kinda sit back and hope someone else picks up the slack.
Charging networks don’t generate the kind of margins that the cars do. There are a lot of people who bought teslas because of access to the network. Now they’ve given up that advantage AND existing tesla owners will be competing for limited charging stalls with hyundais and Fords.
Their market share depends on their manufacturing capacity.
Yeah, they can not win it but I guess they hold enough patents and are ahead of reserch for now. If they play it right, they will remain significant player, but also easy to disappear.
